A twist on "tuna salad" with mayo, scallions, capers and fresh dill? Or chopped dill pickle instead of the capers and dill. Drain salmon very well to remove the oil, and maybe add some panko bread crumbs to soak up some of the oil and get the right texture/flavor balance. Serve with/on bagels or rye bread.

First thing would be to open the can and taste it, to decide the best use. I also really like the cream cheese recommendations already given.

Is there a way to recommend just the first two words of your reply? ;-) If the OP likes smoked salmon, fine. But I have a good friend who has forgotten that I can't bear it, and keeps sending me what I'm sure is top-quality jarred and vacuum-sealed stuff from Alaska. I've taken to regifting it, after having choked my way through a chowder I made, thinking I could dilute the (to me) overwhelming smokiness by making soup. I tried feeding the next package to the dog, who picked at it listlessly. She apparently preferred to restrict her smoked vittles to pig ears.

Lol...I'm with Alkapal; just tell her it does not agree with you and perhaps someone else would appreciate it more, since it "won't go to waste" for lack of a better term. You get the jist of what I'm trying to say.... But, dang, if the dog won't eat it....lol
